"The Kiss of Venus" is a song by the English musician Paul McCartney from his 2020 album McCartney III and later remixed by Dominic Fike on McCartney III Imagined.
Background McCartney once stated during an interview with CBS News: "On one of the songs off the new album, called 'Kiss of Venus,' I wrote it one summer's day, and I got the beginning of it – The Kiss of Venus, da, da, da, da – and I thought, 'Oh, that's OK, I'll record it, I'll finish it someday.' But then I said to myself, 'No, what have you got? You haven't got anything on [right now]. Sit here and finish that bloody song!"
Promotion The song was previewed before McCartney IIIs release on 19 November 2020. To celebrate the third anniversary of McCartney III, titled McCartney III 3×3, the set featured a lyric draft of the song.
